Blank page
staring back at me
Trying
to find the melody
Writing
down my history
One line at a time
And my hands might start to shake
With every single step I take
{pedal steel swell} (oh here we go)
This is my first song,
my first open door
Singing the words I was
hiding before
Taking a breath, finally
standing tall
Even if I stumble,
even if I fall
Used to think
I needed to wait
To find a path that was perfectly straight
But there is beauty
in the design
Of making a mess
and crossing the line
This is my first song,
my first open door
Singing the words I was
hiding before
Taking a breath, finally
standing tall
Even if I stumble,
even if I fall
(my first song)
My very first song {guitars fade
out} {hiss of
tape machine} (ahhhh-mm)
